This article describes how to manually fail back a replica by using reverse replication, which is useful when a normal failback fails or is not possible because the replica was powered on outside of the Veeam Backup & Replication Console. In simple terms, the replication process is run in reverse, turning the replica into the source VM and using the production VM as the target that will be updated with the current state of the replica.
Limitations and Considerations If there is no production VM to "fail back" onto, you can skip the mapping steps (Part 1: Steps 2 & 6), and Veeam Backup & Replication will create a VM in the destination specified within the manual failback replication job. If the replica was reverted to a specific restore point (snapshot) and then manually powered on, reverse replication can still be used. However, all restore points will be consolidated when returning the replica to be used for regular replication.
